HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
What salt is Good For.

When you give your cellar its spring
cleaning, add little copperas- water and
salt to the whitewash.
Sprinkling salt on the tops and at the
bottoms of garden walls is said to keep
snails from climbing up or down.
For relief from heartburn or dyspepsia,
drink little cold water in which has
been dissolved teaspoonful of salt.
For weeds in the grass put pinch or
two of salt in the middle of each, and,
unless a shower washes it off it will kill
the weeds.
Ink stains on linen can be taken out il
the stain is first washed in strong
salt and water and then sponged with
lemon juice.
In basin of water, salt, of course, falls
to the bottom; so never soak salt fish
with the skin side down, as the salt will
fall to the skin and remain there.
Salt and mustard, teaspoonful of
each, followed with sweet oil, melted
butter or milk, is the antidote for Fow-
ler's solution, white precipitate of ar.
senic.
For stains on the hands, nothing is
better than a little salt, with enough
lemon juice to moisten it, rubbed on the
spots and then washed off in cleai
water.
For weeds in pavements or grave
walks, make strong brine of coarsC
salt and boiling water; put the brine II
a sprinkling can and water the weeds
thoroughly, being careful not to let any
of the brine get on the grass, or it vii
! kill it too.
If a chimney or fiue catch on fire, clos'
all windows and doors first, then hang
blanket in front of the CRATE to exclud,
all air. Water should never be poured
down the chimney, as it spoils tn
carpets. Coarse salt thrown down tn
flue is much better.

Selecting a Family Horse.

Among the good points to be noticed
in the selection of the family horse, do
cility and gentleness must he kept well
in front. If the women and children are
to share in the use and care of the horse,
nothing vicious should be tolerated. If
sound and previously well cared for, a
horse eight, ten, or even twelve years old,
may be bought with no fear of disability
on account of old age. Mr.. John Russell,
who recently delivered series of lectures
in Boston on the care of the horse, said
that "old wine, old friends and old
horses"-and by that meaning those from
eight to fourteen-''shoulda always be pre-
ferred to young ones" The horse does
not come to maturity as early rs some
think, as the record Of the trotting hors e
of America shows. A horse ten years
old, that has no defect of body or limb,
is practically safe from the ordinary
horse diseases. So far as outward APP
pearance, color, etc., are concerned, nc
general directions can be given, but if the
buyer is inexperienced, it is better to GO
to some reliable dealer, stating what is
desired and the amount of money to bC
given. An honest horse jockey in some
peoples minds is an anomaly, but many
such may be found. .-Americaa Agrieut-

A Great Place For Celery.

1t is in and around the fair and far
famed city of Kalamazoo that the celery
lord, with all his innate pride and odor of
garlic. may best be found. Here his coat
of arms, consisting of bunch Of celery
penchant on a silver dollar guardant may
be seen emblazoned on his armorial bear
ings and also on the faces of the shop
keepers. Here it is that over 3, 900 acres
of reclaimed" land is devoted to the
cultivation of the crisp and toothsome
stalk that is gifted with nerve strength
ening properties 1t is a saying that in
Kalamazoo they swear by celery and at
everything else. The latter proposition
may be triAe harsh, but the former is
self evident to any visitor In spite of
the fact that Kalamazoo leads the country
in light vehicles wind mills, harrows
and many other branches Of manufacture,
she still pins her faith and hope and trust
to the celery lands and the celery lords.

A Noyel Musical Instrument.

Two Spanish naval officers were play
ing duet in the cool inner room of
piano wareroom on Fifth avenue yester-
day afternoon. A group of musicians,
critics and employees Of the company were
sitting or standing around, attentively
listening. One of the dark bearded per
formers was playing an accompaniment
for the other, who held TO his mouth an
instrument so small as to be entirely con
cealed by his fingers; yet the notes of
LA Paloma," that sensuous, fetching
Mexican air, rang out in tones like
piccolo's, yet so strong as to seem as If
they camo from a calliope. When the air
was finished, the infant flute was submitted
for inspection. IL was a section of a
reed, very like those which are used for
pipe stems, having three small holes be-
side the blow hole. II was not three
inches long; yet from this scrap Of per
forated reed over two octaves of notes
had been elected with a strength that
made the air palpitate, aud the most
rapid runs had been executed. II rs a
new instrument called DE reed flute, and
is quite curiosity For its size. il is the
biggest instrument on earth.-Neo York

How Chocolate is Made.

''Chocolate," said O New York con-
fectioner, sis made from beans that grow
in pods on the cacao tree. These trees
are numerous in the West Indies, and it
is from them that we get oursupply. The
beans are brought hither in the pod, and
put through II regular manufacturing
process to produce the chocolate cakes
that we use. The first operation is the
breaking of the husks and separating
them from the kernels by blast of air.
Then the beans are ground with sugar
by revolving granite grindstones. The
stones are heated, and the oil contained
in the bean makes the mass adhere and
become thick paste. This pulp is now
partly dried and the air bubbles are
squeezed out in press, and it is trans
ferred to the COOLING tables. Here it is
placed in molds, blast of cold air is
turned on, and in few moments the
beautiful glossy tablets are finished.
"The British Government has recently
directed that chocolate be served two or
three times week in the army and
navy In confectionery the Parisians
exceed us in the number of preparations
of chocolate. We use it in its natural
flavor only, while they mix essences and
other favors with it, until their is no end
to the combinations that they produce.
In England much of the chocolate is
adulterated. Some recent tests detected
flour, starch, potato, lard, chalk, bran
and old sea-biscuit in specimens Offered
for sale. '-Ha1 and Express.

A Clean Crab.

Miss Gordon Cumming reports some of
the "acute and pithy remarks" of the
native Christian teachers at the Samoan
Islands. Among the rest is a trait of the
crabs of the island, which was brought
forward as an illustration of the COM
mandment to cut off a right hand or u
right foot, or to pluck out right eye,
rather than be led into sin. One of the
teachers told how often he had watched
the mali'O, or land-crab, which by day
burrows deep in the soil, but by night
hurries down to the sea to feed and
drink. 1t is a wondrously clean creature,
and the Samoans declare that if on its
seaward way, as it presses through the
tall grass, it should chance to come in
contact with any filth, which adheres to
its legs, it will deliberately wrench them
off, and thus, self-mutilated, hobbies back
to it hole, there to hide till its legs grow
again.
1t is positively affirmed that this extra
ordinary crab has been known thus to
wrench off its eight legs in succession,
and then drag itself home with she great
est difficulty by means of its nippers.

Indian Ball.

"The game is not made up of mines, but
of sides, and has twenty-five Indians on
each side. The Cherokee Indians will
have the right side of their faces painted
black and will carry spoon or stick,
something similar to a Lacrosse stick.
The Choctaws will have the same make
up excepting that the left side of their
faces will be painted red or yellow.
When they get on the grounds, Snake
Puppy, Chief of the Cherokees, and Lone
Wolf, Chief of the Choctaws, will toss
up to see who will throw the ball Both
sides take their position at either end of
the grounds, with board about fifteen
feet in height behind them. This is
what they call the goal-just like game
of football in this part of the country.
The chief who has won the toss will take
his stand about an equal distance from
both sides, and will toss the ball in the
air and give whoop to notify the men
to start for the ball. They all make a
rush, and as they are swift runners they
generally meet about where the ball lies,
and as they cannot touch the ball with
their hands they use their spoons, and
when one man clutches the ball he holds
the spoon high in the air and makes a
terrible race, with the remaining forty
nine players in hot pursuit, beating him
over the head and shoulders with their
spoons in order to gain possession of the
ball. When the possessor of the ball
reaches spot with clear field he
throws the ball, and if there is not some
man who will throw his spoon in the all
and catch it, the ball strikes the goal,
and the men retire to their places for an.
other inning. ."-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

A coNTUMAcIoUs SUBJECT

Upon his throne the mighty king.
His gallant courtiers kneeling round
Impatient, tapped his slgnet ring
And said some new, divertlng thing
For his amusement must be found.
Then spoke an old and trusty knight:
May my kings indulgence crave,
To bring within the royal sight
A subject who denies the right
OF any king to call him slaveGn
"How nowl" the angry monarch said,
who dare deny our sovereign powerl
Go, fetch him here, alive or dead;
The fool shall bow or lose his head
Within the passing Of the hour.n
The knight retired with solemn stride.
Then came page, all sleek and trim,
To say the queen would sit beside
Her lord and see this traitor tried
II he, the king, INDUCED the whim.
The queen came in and took her place
The baby boy upon her breast,
Unheedful Of the treason case,
Looked bravely on the monarch's face
And snatched away his jeweled crest.
Hecrushed the kings symbolic rose,
Upset the sceptre with crash;
Heeven tweaked the monarchs nose
And kicked him with his tiny toes,
The while he pulled his fierce mustache
All others at the kings behest
Their serfdom hastened to declare;
The babe alone, with freedom blest,
Defed the king who ruled the rest
Most potent he the weakest there.

Strange Extremes of Heat and Cold.

Northeast Siberia possesses a climate
colder than the North Pole and hotter
than many uplands under the Equator /;
but the torrid heat lasts only for a few
weeks, while the intense cold endures
for many months. In the volcanic PENN
sula of Kamchatka, says writer in the
London Telegraph, the banks of the in
land streams are clothed with grass grow
ing with tropical luxuriancc and spangled
with gay fowers-the Alpine rose, the
cinquefoil, and the beauteous Kamehatka
lily-while on the low-lands cluster the
poplar and the silver birch. The pre-
vailing humidity of the Pacific seaboard,
particularly in the Amoor Basin, favors
the development of splendid vegeta-
tion and on the Usuri the ginseng is
largely cultivated for the Chinese market,
where it fetches its weight in gold, the
plant being esteemed sovereign remedy
against all disorders.

Whatever path before US lies,

Our friends may falter one by one
And leaveus TO our fate,
II but the staff we lean upon
May still support our weight
Unconquered by dream Of ILL;
Unburdened as we go,
The storm may break beyond, but still.
'Tis better not to know.

Be but dream at best;
II falsehood lurk where love should be,
Yet in that dream I'm blest;
If warning of a coming wrong
Cannot avert the blow;

And If within my brothers heart
